I am a cf nurse. I originally worked on a floor where all cf adult patients were admitted for exacerbations. I got to know the cf np and dr and they recruited me over to the cf clinic where I am a nurse coordinator. I work at one of the largest cf ce...

Well I have begun the theory class. Just got a 70% on the open book quiz.

I just submitted my application today. After reading these postings I am nervous. Would you all recommend this MSN program at UTA. I can't imagine doing homework 40 hrs a week on top of my 40hr per week work week!!! Any information would be greatly a...

In my teaching hospital the hospitalist is the attending physician-sometimes they will have interns but generally take their own call. Hospitalists are internal med doctors. For other patients with different diagnoses they will be under an attending ...

Abdominal pain- of unknown etiology.

We regularly leave enzymes, nasal sprays etc. in the rooms of CF adult patients.

I would say endoscopy because you would be using a broad range of nursing skills that I don't think you are able to practice in a family office such as starting iv's, monitoring patients under conscious sedation and as they come out of it, etc. Many ...

I moved from the midwest to work at UT. Best decision ever! Great hospital and learning institution. One of the highest paying hospitals in DFW for new grads.

We put medihoney on just about every wound I see. Literally. Wound nurses LOVE medihoney. Downside is it's very, very expensive from what I hear.

The scope of practice for both graduates is the same. The difference between the two degrees comes into play with career advancement. In order to move into management type positions etc. A BSN degree is needed. Also in most cases you will need a bsn ...

If I couldn't text at work I could not survive the shift

I cannot believe your clinical instructors allow you to use BP machines regularly. If you are not getting lots of practice in school, when you are a nurse and the machine does not work, you will not be able hear a blood pressure correctly. For your ...

NCLEX-RN july 15, received the pop up, found out today I passed. Best day of my life!!!

Even if the school you apply to now does not require the HESI exam it may by the time you reach graduation. My school instituted the HESI requirement during my senior year, and to get around any potential lawsuits, they attached the HESI to a class a...

I just took my Nclex. I had 75 questions and am convinced I failed. I was guessing on EVERYTHING and have looked up a few questions to confirm I got them wrong.

I do this on a regular basis. At least 1/4 of my days off are spent sitting on the computer, watching TV, and doing nothing productive. Everyone needs a little lazy time once in awhile!

The HR person discussed relocation/sign on bonus and benefits with me during all my interviews. My teachers advised that it was best to not inquire about such things until after the interview, otherwise it may seem that you are more interested in the...

No! Do not waste your money! Sometimes you will barely have enough time to read the required reading!

Make sure you are able to answer questions about how you deal with stress in the workplace, how you are with time management, how you deal with conflict etc. I would think the interview would focus on these qualities more than they will asking about ...

If anything I lost weight in nursing school. Learning about the health benefits of losing weight whipped me into better shape.

I applied for jobs all over the country. I will be moving for a job in Texas later in the summer. Had I not accepted this position I would still be unemployed. I would say apply wherever you could see yourself moving and travel for interviews as much...

Be happy you were offered a job! I have had friends who turned down jobs for one silly reason or another, and are currently unemployed. I just graduated with my BSN and have had no interviews so far!

hahahah no i would not report them.

La-a. Pronounced Ladasha. -=dash sooo weird

Try St. Ambrose University in Iowa. BSN!!
